A self-imposed booze ban for Yow Yeh as he strives for Origin

With the young winger in the form of his life, Jharal Yow Yeh is enforcing a self-imposed booze ban on himself, as well as avoiding nightclubs and hanging out with mates, as he strives for a debut Origin appearance.

With some critics still on his back saying that the form will be short-lived, Yow Yeh ensure that this will not be the case, as he has abstained from having alcohol altogether.

“I’m off the booze, definitely,” Yow Yeh said.

“A couple of the boys had a drink the other night (after Brisbane’s win over the Tigers) and I stayed off it then as well.

“It’s hard when you get a good win like we did against the Tigers, but you have to make the sacrifices and I’m trying to do everything I can to play good football.

“I reckon I’m ready for State of Origin … I’ve settled down socially to try and help myself out.”

Having previously been a party animal, Yow Yeh has matured more, and now looks up to the leaders of the Brisbane side in Darren Lockyer, Sam Thaiday and Justin Hodges.

His decision to dump the alcohol and avoid the nightclubs comes after the most recent Todd Carney incidents, incidents which Yow Yeh does not want to be faced with himself.
